Chapter 538 - 418: Second Update
After thinking for a moment, Ning Youguang still walked over to Ming Chao.
But upon approaching, she discovered her brother was browsing an international online shopping platform. "Brother, what are you doing?"
She really couldn’t understand why Ming Chao suddenly stopped eating properly and was looking at these things.
A moment later, Ning Youguang’s lowered eyes were met with a phone being handed to her, its screen still lit.
She blankly took it, swiped across the phone’s screen a few times, and noticed that every picture displayed was radiating a dazzling light.
Jewelry, watches, and more jewelry and watches.
She was even more puzzled. "Brother, what do you need me to do?"
"Reciprocity, pick what you like yourself." Ming Chao spread his arms, his tall and straight body leaning back against the sofa, adopting a grandfather-like posture again, "Also pick something for Shi as well."
Anyway, he thought, Shi Wangyue surely wouldn’t come to pick gifts on his phone.
Ning Youguang: "......"
Perhaps her facial expression was too bewildered and complex.
Ming Chao’s expression softened instantly.
He stared at her for a few seconds, seeing her remain unmoving.
Frowning thoughtfully, he reached out to take the phone back and continued browsing the shopping platform himself.
A minute later.
He handed the phone to Ning Youguang again, "Look, are these okay?"
Ning Youguang, heart trembling, looked at the items just added to her brother’s online shopping cart, her mind filled with exasperation, and held his hand, "Brother, no need, we don’t need these, don’t buy them."
Ming Chao furrowed his attractive brows deeply, his gaze sharp, "You don’t like them?"
Ning Youguang explained with a complex expression, "It’s not that we don’t like them, it’s that we don’t need them."
"Oh." Ming Chao’s eyes showed contemplation, "Then what do you need?"
Watches, jewelry, bags were gifts they gave to family members and received high praise from the whole family.
They don’t want these, what else can he give?
Just thinking he resolved a big issue, Mr. Ming was troubled again.
"We don’t need anything." Ning Youguang sat down beside Ming Chao, "In our family, giving gifts is about expressing love, love is giving and receiving, not mere courtesy, which requires reciprocity."
"Oh, well I want to express my love for you all too." Ming Chao said pleasantly, "Whatever you like, I’ll buy it for you."
Any issue that money can solve is a good one.
"I’ve received your love, brother." Ning Youguang smiled softly, "We really don’t need anything."
Ming Chao’s face instantly turned gloomy.
Then, he lowered his head again, continuing to browse the phone, as if he had to place an order to feel satisfied.
Seeing this, Ning Youguang had no choice but to say, "I just thought of something, brother."
"What?" Ming Chao looked up.
"I just remembered what I need." Ning Youguang smiled, "Penguin Publishing House released a set of 80 pocket-sized classic literary books for their 80th anniversary, each very thin, only about 50 pages long, giving you the confidence to finish one almost effortlessly. I’ve always wanted it, but kept forgetting to buy it. Why don’t you get it for me as a New Year gift, can you?"
Ming Chao couldn’t help but smile, "Alright, I’ll order it now."
Shi Wangyue came out of the kitchen with a plate of freshly fried meatballs, and immediately saw Ning Youguang and Ming Chao leaning against each other looking at a phone.
He placed the meatballs on the table, wearing a brand-new apron, approached them with a smell of oil. 1314
